Answer:

(A) Increasing the frequency will provide better penetration and better resolution.

Explanation:

F = V/λ

Where;

F is the wave frequency

V is the wave velocity

λ is the wavelength

From the equation above; F∝ 1/λ

Wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency, so higher frequencies generate shorter wavelengths and therefore better penetration. Also a higher frequency will also exhibit a better axial resolution.

Therefore,  increasing the frequency will provide better penetration and better resolution.
